I Am Marie Curie

Love for science early became a guiding star for Maria Skłodowska. Even in her youth, she rejected the traditional fate of a housewife, unwilling to be confined within the domestic walls.
Paris, 1894. Twenty-seven-year-old Maria, who recently earned a degree in physics, is searching for a laboratory where she can continue her research. At an evening gathering of mutual acquaintances, she meets Pierre Curie and finds in him not only a mentor but also a kindred spirit, capable of appreciating her complex mind and unique worldview. Thus, a union of extraordinary intellects is born, united by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore the mysteries of the Universe. Maria's, now Marie's, life will be full of unexpected turns, testing her resilience. She will have to battle not only the forces of nature but also an era that will struggle to accept her incredible feminine genius.
What was the true path to two Nobel Prizes? In her novel about one of the greatest women in world history, Sara Rattaro delivers a necessary and powerful message: be resilient and do not fear to challenge the world.
